World Equine Veterinary Association Congress moves to Chile: A collection of articles for the South American practitioner

“…Algunas comunidades Sudamericanas todavía dependen mucho de los burros y mulas de trabajo para apoyar sus existencias. A menudo, el tratamiento de estos équidos está basado en la extrapolación de datos de estudios llevados a cabo en caballos, pero la biología única de los burros puede significar un riesgo de mal diagnóstico y tratamientos inapropiados, llevando a potenciales complicaciones 7 . En los últimos tiempos, la investigación especifica a burros se ha ido expandiendo; como fue descrito por Rickards y Toribio (2021), 8 producido para acompañar un previa colección especial de artículos de EVJ y de Equine Veterinary Education (EVE) sobre medicina del burro.…”

“…En los últimos tiempos, la investigación especifica a burros se ha ido expandiendo; como fue descrito por Rickards y Toribio (2021), 8 producido para acompañar un previa colección especial de artículos de EVJ y de Equine Veterinary Education (EVE) sobre medicina del burro. Unas áreas de enfoque en particular, han sido la dosificación, fármaco‐quinética y fármaco‐dinámica de las drogas, 9,10 tanto como el diagnóstico y tratamiento de enfermedades endocrinas 7,10 . Es crucial que las importantes diferencias entre burros y caballos, identificadas en estos estudios, sean recordadas e incorporadas dentro del ejercicio clínico; solo entonces podremos asegurar el mejor tratamiento y salud para estos estoicos animales de trabajo.…”

“…Some South American communities still heavily rely on working donkeys and mules to support their livelihoods. Often treatment of these equids is based on extrapolation of data from studies undertaken in horses, but the unique biology of donkeys means that this can risk misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatments, leading to potential complications 7 . Latterly, donkey‐specific research has been expanding; as highlighted in the article by Rickards and Toribio, 8 produced to accompany a previous special collection of papers from EVJ and Equine Veterinary Education on donkey medicine.…”

“…Latterly, donkey‐specific research has been expanding; as highlighted in the article by Rickards and Toribio, 8 produced to accompany a previous special collection of papers from EVJ and Equine Veterinary Education on donkey medicine. A particular focus has been research on drug dosages, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, 9,10 as well as diagnosis and treatment of endocrine diseases 7,10 . It is crucial that the important differences between donkeys and horses, identified in these studies, are remembered and incorporated into clinical practice; only then can we ensure the best treatment and welfare for these stoic working animals.…”
